Buttonholes
The sewing machine has fi ve fully automatic buttonhole programmes
that sew a buttonhole in a single step.
TIP
To determine the correct stitch length, breadth and width, we
recommend you sew a test buttonhole on a scrap of fabric.

 Start by putting the button in the button holder of the buttonhole
foot.
 Replace the current foot with the buttonhole foot. Make sure that the
upper thread runs through the buttonhole foot.
 Mark the location where the buttonhole is to be sewn and apply the
buttonhole foot there.
If you are sewing very fi ne fabric or synthetics, reduce the foot
pressure and lay a piece of paper on the material to prevent thread
entanglement.
Procedure
 Place the buttonhole foot on the marked position on your material
and raise the presser foot lever.
 Pull the lever C of the automatic buttonhole function carefully
downwards. Make sure the lever is between the limiting cones A and
B of the buttonhole foot.
 Choose a buttonhole pattern and set the desired stitch length and
width.
 Start sewing slowly: the sewing machine will create the entire
buttonhole in a single step.
The lever
14
of the automatic buttonhole function ensures the
desired length of the buttonhole and the change of direction.
 Keep the foot pedal pressed down until the sewing machine stops
sewing on its own.
 Set the presser foot lever to its top position and remove the material.
 Now cut off the buttonhole using the un-picker supplied.
TIP
Pin a safety pin in front of the top bar to stop you cutting through it.
